Music is an important element of worship and service at First Baptist Church. As musicians, we desire to glorify God by leading his people in worship, develop relationships through fellowship with one another, and grow in our musicality. The music program at First Baptist includes the Sanctuary Choir, Chancel Bells, Youth Choir, and Sacred Strings, but we are blessed to have many individuals and small groups contributing as well.
